The seats are placed one on top of the other which makes it more difficult for toddlers and their parents to get distracted when they are out and out and about.

It can be a bit long when in double mode, though, and there's no storage space under the seat.

When comparing double pushchairs, consider the weight of each seat as well as the frame and suspension. The heavier the pushchair is and the heavier it is, the more difficult it will be to push. This is particularly the case on uneven surfaces. Check the folding dimensions, and then see if you can take off the seat to make it smaller. Look for features like a simple one-handed fold, which test-run tester Kirstie described as "genius", and a useful strap that you can sling over your shoulders.

Alternatively, you can opt for a tandem double pushchair that places children behind each other. It's not as maneuverable as a side-by-side, but it's still a good option for many families, and may be more suitable for older toddlers.
